Last week when I was in John Lewis I saw this box of Christmas Crackers. I loved the colours and because I have one of those minds that work overtime and I think of daft plans! I thought I could make them into little gift packages - so that's what I did :)

I removed the ribbons that were tying each end, took out the naff party hat, toy and joke! and added a small gift. Then I tied the edges with new (much nicer) ribbon

Our lovely and very talented friend Gail has joined our Design Team permanently (hooray for us!!) and has already been busy creating. Just look at what arrived in our inbox this morning, we both said WOW!

We have some exceptionally talented customers. We love to recieve emails so that we can see what you have all been creating and of course we want to show everyone else so that you can all go and visit their blogs to see yet more lovely projects :)

Nat sent these lovely cards, we loved how she's hung her banners on the bakers twine

Jean sent us a photograph of her monochromatic cards using the ruffle ribbon and polka dot buttons, lovely!

Sally made this beautiful Christmas card using the popular red gingham - those Christmas trees are beautiful

Mandy has been very 'krafty' ! and made this gorgeous card and these embossed pockets - we're definitley going to try embossing the little pockets, such a good idea! And that's not all, she crocheted those flowers with Bakers Divine Twine and Ribbon Girl button twine!!

We'd love to see what our other customers are making, you can email us through the contact us page on the Ribbon Girl website

Thanks to all of our Design Team girls, we are so grateful for all that you do for us and we love seeing all your creations. We hope Debbie will be back online soon as she is having horrible computer problems (we can't imagine how you feel Debbie with *shock* no internet!!)

We are always interested to see the projects that our customers have been making and we *might* just be looking around for next month's guest designer :)

Hello! We were so impressed with all the entries that we recieved for our first colour challenge last month that we thought we'd do it again - and make it a regular challenge each month :)

The challenge this month is to create a project with the main colour focus of red and green and use the InLinkz button at the end of this post to enter your project. The links will close on Sunday October 31st (Midnight UK time), and we'll randomly select one project to win this gorgeous prize from The Ribbon Girl

Please mention The Ribbon Girl in your blog post, use the colours red and green as your main colour focus and be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your project. You don't have to use ribbons on your project but it would be nice if you do :o) We'll post the prize worldwide so we need to be able to contact you through your blog.

**As well as the ribbon prize we are also giving away the 3 mitten hangings that Gail has made for us (see further down for pictures) to some lucky participants**

Some of our fabulous Design Team have been creating with the red/green colour scheme and we have a special guest too (more about her further on in this post)

You'll have noticed that we have a guest designer today, Gail is super fantastically talented and we (Andrea and Mary) get to soak up her creativeness every month when we all go to the same crop. She has made 3 gorgeous mitten hangings for her design team projects and has kindly said we can give them away to lucky participants of the colour challenge! Check out Gail's blog for more fantastic projects
